Tools and Materials

Thank You For Choosing Kohler Company

We appreciate your commitment to Kohler quality. Please take a few

minutes to review this manual before you start installation. If you

encounter any installation or performance problems, please don’t

hesitate to contact us. Our phone numbers and website are listed on

the back cover. Thanks again for choosing Kohler Company.

Before You Begin

Please read all instructions before you begin.

Shut off the water supply.

Observe all local plumbing and building codes.

IMPORTANT! For proper drainage of the spout, only install to a

level surface.

Before installation, unpack the new faucet trim and inspect it for

damage. Return it to the carton until installation.

For optimum performance, Kohler Co. recommends installing

3/4″high ﬂow valves connected to the spout with 5/8″Nominal

Tubing (3/4″OD).

If compression ﬁttings are used, type M, K, or L hard drawn

tubing is recommended.

Provide an access panel for all installations.

Rigid connections are recommended for this installation, however

ﬂexible hose is provided. Follow the instructions for your chosen

method of installation.

Before You Begin (cont.)

To avoid potential leaks, the connections between the valves and

the spout must not be skewed.

faucets without notice, as speciﬁed in the Price Book.

and remove the spout, gasket, and hex nut from the base.

Remove the spout base.

Test ﬁt the spout shank to verify it will ﬁt through the hole in the

bath rim.

Thread a mounting nut all the way down the spout shank and

each of the handle valves.

shank to determine the tubing needed for either compression

ﬁttings or solder connections. Allow for sufficient clearance.
